Welcome

We hope that your time at Cardiff University, whether working or studying will be happy and trouble-free. However, everyone - at some time in their lives - may run into difficulties. For every kind of problem there are trained people at hand to offer support. Counselling is a way of exploring and addressing some kinds of emotional or psychological issues.

The Cardiff University Counselling Service provides members of the university community, both staff and students, with an opportunity to examine issues which prevent them from maximising their full potential and to explore options for change. The Counselling Service is confidential and available to members of the Cardiff University community free of charge. It has had international recognition as a Centre for Excellence for individual and group counselling.

If you are not part of the Cardiff University community, but you are interested in having counselling, you can find a qualified and experienced counsellor near you.
